@Hamster: Dude, 3 things:
1. If Mundhir smells differently now (and he should), then Shorus will notice that and confront him, like a minotaur would (not violently, but pretty straight forward).
2. Is Hazim dead or alive, because that's where Shorus were planning to go?
3. I think we can reveal more about the mysterious goddess, Shorus will find her holy symbol in the mad Prince's tent and bring it back with him to Mundhir. What you think?
@Rockette: You're not active for a while, so I'll just continue with the kidnapping and you will fill in later :)

@Hamster: Dude, why is my character deleted from the characters in play list? I'm still here and attacking the mad Prince! :)
@ All GM's: I'm thinking of developing Shorus in influence of the Native American culture, I don't like the wide spread perception of the Minotaurs as savage, stupid and evil beasts, it's just too shallow..
I'm thinking of the Minotaur society like of more related to the primitive Native American cultures that were spread in America before the conquistadors arrived, the Minotaurs have their own laws and justice system (also primitive) and their own warrior etiquette that Shorus obeys.
Shorus also has some personal spiritual advancement in compare to his compatriots (the other Minotaurs), he doesn't eat any intelligent creatures, so he is not a cannibal.
As to his new armor, I think of integrating spiritual elements into it, so the further development of the artifact will be based not so much on magical crystals like I wanted in the beginning but more on Shorus's spiritual and mind abilities (not like the mages abilities, but more like the advanced Indian warrior's abilities).
What you think?

The kidnapping of the mad Prince (in co-authoring with Rockette) - Part I:
Shorus silently walked through the darkness, trusting his Infra-Vision and his acute hearing and sense of smell to lead him in the right direction, navigation was never a problem for him.
Suddenly the Minotaur heard a familiar voice, he turned his head and saw Kylmi. The beautiful Nymph was in her battle armor, fighting off the Elves. Shorus hurried towards her, but he quickly found out she doesn't need any help.
"Don't worry about the insectoid, he can take care of himself. As about the nomad, he will do what he wants anyway, so no point in telling him what to do." answered the Minotaur quickly to the Nymph's request about their companions.
"The mad Prince's tent is that one, Shorus can smell him from here!" continued the Minotaur as he pointed towards a big tent not far from the place they were standing, few well armed guards were guarding the entrance to the tent.
"Shorus and Kylmi will go in fast from the flank, squash the guards and throw the mad Prince on the back of Kylmi's weird horse, after that Kylmi will immediately leave together with the mad Prince. She needs to go around the Elven front towards Hazim, Shorus will cover her escape and join her later." explained Shorus.
" If Kylmi can create a wall of thorns between us and the Elves when she leaves then it will help, if not then Shorus will show those long-livers the sharp side of his axes ! he added.
After this short conversation the Minotaur immediately charged. This time he didn't do his famous battle roar and almost manage to catch the guards near the tent by surprise as he jumped at them out of the shadows. The sound of metal bashing against metal filled the air as Shorus's axes crossed with the Elven blades, one of the guards was already lying on the ground dead, Shorus just squashed him when he charged. The other guards were fiercely attacking the Minotaur, but Shorus was very experienced in melee combat and killing him was not so easy..
[Ok , Rockette your turn to write. If you want we can do this in several parts and not just one :) .. ]

@Rockette: Great post! I will post the attack in a short time.
@Tarwin: Will you participate in the mad Prince's kidnapping or would you like us to leave you alone? :)
@Pathfinder: Dude, are you still here??
@Tarwin: Will you participate in the mad Prince's kidnapping or would you like us to leave you alone? :)
@Pathfinder: Dude, are you still here??
@Rockette: Awesome! Let's do this! Waiting for your post :) (You don't need to hurry, I'll be busy for couple of days anyway, family dinners and all that mambo jambo.. :) )
@Everybody: Guys, the randevu point to which Shorus is going is to meet the others who will participate in the mad Prince's kidnapping.
Who wants in?? (at the very least I hope Rockette will join)
We also need to plan this kidnapping, the general situation near the mad Prince's tent, who attacks at which angle etc.
I've been thinking for example if Shorus and Kylmi go in (Shorus because he is a tank and Kylmi due to her monstrous horse and nature magic, that can be very useful), they charge quickly from the flank, Shorus squashes the few guards that stayed near the Prince's tent while the others are fighting the Mamalukes, Kylmi uses some magic to make vines entangle the guards that Shorus missed, after which Shorus hits the mad Prince unconscious and throws him on Kylmi's monster horse.
At that point Kylmi charges out of the camp, makes a loop to go around the Elven front and hides behind Hazim's Mamalukes. Shorus knocks an Elven rider from his horse, grabs the horse and does the same.
If others are to join the raid, we can of course upgrade this plan.
What you say?

Shorus didn't have much time, he saw the surviving Elves go back to the camp and return with reinforcements.
The Minotaur watched as the group of trained archers searched the darkness while going towards him to get into a firing range, there was no time to lose!
Shorus armed the simple traps that he has prepared while the Elves were gone, those were nothing more then bended tree branches with spikes sharpened out of the smaller branches on them with a simple vine used as a trigger and a natural pit that Shorus managed to cover with branches and leaves and put few spikes on it's bottom.
Shorus stood right behind the traps and roared in order to draw the Elve's attention towards himself, after which he got on all four to get his profile out of the Elves sight and crawled towards the stone line at the back, he tied some green branches to his tail and used this improvised broom to erase his footprints from the ground behind him.
As Shorus got away from the camp, he heard the sound of his traps triggering followed by Elven screams. Those were the spiked branches piercing into the Elves bodies, right between the plates of their armor. After a few minutes Shorus heard a blunt sound and a scream, some of the Elves have found his pit trap the hard way..
After making some distance between himself and the camp, Shorus stopped and looked back to see if he is followed, but he didn't see anyone, it seems the traps have done their job and beat the searching enthusiasm out of the Elves.
Shorus quietly stood up and smelled the air, no Elves were nearby, but he did have an Elven arrow stuck into his supply bag. "Good thing I have my armor on.." thought the Minotaur to himself as he examined the fine craftsmanship of the arrow's head and started to make his way towards the randevu point..
